Awesome place, cant recommend enough.
Not expensive if you know how / where to eat/drink.

Haha, I am just intrigued by the size of the place and the lifestyle, mainly because its a total opposite to where I stay !

Looking at going for 3 days in January. Doug just got back from NY
http://www.icelolly.com looks like it will be a good site, by far the cheapest stuff I can find, prices change every day though

Exchange rates getting better I believe. Clothes are way cheaper as is food in general. I'm probably going to go over about October time to kit up after losing some more weight.
Theres a kick ass diner under the road bridge leading in to Grand Central for breakfast/lunch. Loads of bagel shops too which are awesome.
The touristy stuff I could take or leave tbh, Battery Park is a good place to pick up pretty good quality Rolex and Tag copies though!
